Pros
Closed on major holidays-although that appears to be changing Clean environment
Cons
Only one weekend off a month Employee pay is terrible, starting pay is $10/hour most people make 11-14/hr this is poverty wage for the expectations and demands of the job. Not to mention the cost of living Took away annual pay increases, only to bring them back due to backlash…meaning greed played a role and so did a lack of value and poor thought Introduced laughable, embarrassing retention bonus, people can add up that a $500 one time retention bonus isn’t the same as a job paying $15-$20/hr consistently COVID was poorly handled. We were One of the last places to close and the first to open, with very little protection for employees. This is a constant topic and brought up in exit interviews. You put employees and their families at risk…with little concern, especially in major markets. My executive team had to work like a dog during COVID closure. There was no understanding for what was going on in people’s outside lives…during a PANDEMIC. Says company is doing good, but keeps eliminating benefits Pay is not competitive Senior management is 100% white and 95% female The current diversity program is POOR, it is not a true initiative and the person running it has no background in the field. The company is doing it to “check a box” No water on sales floor or office Dress code is outdated for women and men There is NO open door policy. Feedback is encouraged, but only for the opportunity to use it against you. As a white female manager, I’ve witnessed employees of other races treated drastically different from white employees Almost every one in my store is looking for a different job, it is hard to retain when you can relate to employee concerns
